Third-Party Guitar Hero Controller Sucks Like a Hurricane
Our ugly yet do-able distant relations over at Kotaku have a hands-on with the Shredder, a third-party Guitar Hero controller. While they originally championed the device, a disheartened reader told them that it was actually a hunk of garbage. They do not need to be pushed down as hard as the original, making hammer-ons and…
Millennium Falcon Transformer Spotted
This is very strange info, but someone in Canada has spotted a Millennium Falcon transformer. That’s right, the ship that once macerated Chewie’s hair-filled stool is now a transformer and he’s ready to beat some Rebel ass. Not only is this a completely random toy, the fact that it ended up in Canada for some…
Man Sends 32,000 Sexy MMSes
A fellow from Wales, Royce Roberts, sent 32,000 MMS messages to randomly selected numbers. The messages included pornography and he apparently sent them over 1,500 to children, which is pretty shitty. He was sending these things at a rate of 1,000 a week and spent over $46,000 in messaging fees. Man’s 32,000 sex mobile messages…
Mighty Mouse Really Sucks
I’m about ready to drop Apple’s Mighty Mouse into a bucket of water and then put a brick on top of it because it’s absolutely useless. Now the scroll ball is busted and it’s been still giving me flaky button problems. https://gizmodo.com/mighty-mouse-rant-179089
Vista Torrent Site Closed
We talked about VistaTorrent last week and lo and behold MS has shut it down. The owners of the site were understandably miffed. https://gizmodo.com/get-yourself-some-vista-beta-180100 Chris and Jack write, “We were only trying to help Microsoft by doing this, assuming the costs and responsibilities associated with serving and seeding larger files. We did not alter, crack,…
Philips S880 Clamshell Cellphone
The great war wages on between the candy bars and the clamshells, with Philips’ S880 a new recruit into to the latter’s camp. Being touted as a music phone (since those are so great), the S880 features a number of audio-centric capabilities to please the ever-discerning ear. The 128MB of of memory make it easy…
Limited Edition 007 Omega Seamaster
I’m trying to get better photos of this Seamaster, but until then, here you are. This is a limited edition piece, only 10,007 made (har har!) that retails for $3,450 (double har har!). The face is embossed with the James Bond camera iris rifle barrel thingy and the seconds hand has a little 007 on…
Booq Bianco Reviewed (Verdict: Ummm.. White hot)
Booq sent Spungle a Python XM Bianco laptop bag, resulting in multiple puns and much nonsense word spouting. The Bianco is a limited edition bag with lots of pockets and gimcrackery. The laptop compartment is even lined with felt so your wee PowerBook won’t get scratchy-watchied. Best of all? They’re offering a 10% coupon to…
Whither The Water Car
I suddenly got that Lollipop song in my head—Water car water car ooooh water water car—so let’s make this short and sweet. What you see here is an amphibious car that can can go really fast and even has its own website. Go ahead and play it a few times and they try to get…
